Is there a better way? Is there a better way?
Is there a better way ahead or just another day?
There’s got to be a way to make a better day
I’m gonna find away to make a better day
You’re never gonna be the one to hold me down
You’re never gonna be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around

No matter what I do, do what you got to do
But do it now because the time is running out on you
You’ve got to find a way to make a better day
You’ve got to live and learn to fight another day
I’m never gonna be the one who put you down
I’m never gonna be the one who put you down
You never know there may be someone in the crowd
There may be someone in the crowd

Is there a better way? Is there a better way?
Is there a better way ahead or just another day?
Maybe you’ll never know a better way to go
I’ve got a feeling you don’t really want to know
I’ll never let you be the one to hold me down
I’ll never let you be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around
There never was a better way

I’ll never let you be the one to hold me down
I’ll never let you be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around
There never was a better way
